Setting DD mode (DD MODE)

This parameter switches DD mode on and off.

When you try to record S/PDIF signal from a CD, MD, or DAT while DD mode is turned on, recording starts when the unit detects the start ID in the PQ code. When you use the synchronized recording function in DD mode, recording starts when the source device starts playing, and recording stops when the source device stops playing.

If the automatic track increment function is in level mode and DD mode is turned on, recording is automati- cally divided into tracks when the track number on the source device changes. (See “Auto track increment” on page 34.)

Setting the sync delay parameter (SYNC DELAY)

Synchronized recording can be started earlier or later than the point at which the DV-RA1000HD detects an audio signal level that is higher than the specified threshold.

The setting range is between −1.70 and +1.70 seconds (in steps of 0.01 second).

Setting the sync stop parameter (SYNC STOP)

You can specify the time duration after which the DV-RA1000HD will stop recording when the audio sig- nal level drops below the specified threshold.

The setting range is between 5 and 60 seconds (in steps of 5 seconds) and INF (infinity, that is, recording will continue even after the audio level drops below the threshold).

Rehearsed synchronized recording

While the SYNC REC indicator is indicating “RHSL,” synchronized recording can be rehearsed.

This allows “false starts” to be eliminated, as the recording start time can be offset by up to 1.7 seconds (in 0.01 second increments) from the time when input signal level rises above the threshold (recording trig- ger).

Follow the steps below to rehearse synchronized recording and set the best recording start time:

1Press the SYNC switch on the rec page of the vir- tual front panel.

The unit enters rehearsal mode and the RHSL indicator lights up steadily.

2Press the RECORD key, and then the PLAY key.

The RECORD key indicator lights up and the

PLAY key flashes.

3Start the recording source. The RECORD key flashes.

The DV-RA1000HD records to a buffer memory and loops the first four seconds of the synchro- nized source after the threshold is exceeded, and displays the rehearsal screen.

Figure 5.6: Rehearsing synchronized recording

4Adjust the delay time, if necessary.

5Press the ENTER key to confirm the setting.

The unit displays the home screen and enter record ready mode.

NOTE

To cancel the setting, press the CANCEL key, in- stead of the ENTER key.

Making the recording

1Press the SYNC switch on the rec page of the vir- tual front panel to place the DV-RA1000HD in synchronized recording mode.

The ON indicator lights up steadily.

2Locate a source playback point slightly earlier than the point from which you wish to record.

3Press the RECORD key, then the PLAY key.

The RECORD key indicator lights up and the

PLAY key flashes.

4Start playback of the source.

When the signal level rises above the specified threshold, recording starts with a delay as speci- fied by the DELAY TIME parameter.
